As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb

4-7-x-x-x-x = E/G# = 1st inversion of E, i.e. the 3rd is in the bass
5-7-x-x-x-x = A5
So bass motion aside, it's a V I progression.
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
I always noodled around on the 'One Vision' thing with an octave on top...and starting with a D5 chord:
x-5-7-7-x-x
x-4-7-6-x-x
And similar to @viz 's C-shape, for E/G# I like 4-x-2-4-5-x

But I think that view is being unnecessarily technical and unhelpful. So to answer we need a little more information, specifically we need the context. Where is it coming from and/or where is it going to?
Example - The Fabulous Thunderbirds song ‘My Babe’ starts with a double stop containing a D and an F. Seeing those two notes written down you’d be forgiven for thinking it might be a Dm or possibly a Bb. Hear it in context though and it’s immediately obvious that it’s a G7 even though the root and third are missing.
In the OP’s example - because the context is explained it’s fairly obvious that the second chord (the one with the bass note dropped by a semitone) will be a maj7. Without context it wouldn’t be obvious at all.
